Chapter 150 Eternal Paradise (End)
As the spaceship soared into space, looking back, the planet appeared as a dull yellow, and everyone felt an indescribable pain.
Tears streamed down their faces as they watched their homeland recede into the distance. Lin Xia interrupted them, asking, "Where are you going?"
"Hmph, if you're so capable, why don't you drive it yourself?" The group snorted coldly, not intending to answer.
Huang Miao stood to the side, at a loss, but when she saw Lin Xia start the spaceship, her face relaxed.
"Do you know how to use it?" Huang Miao looked in the direction Lin Xia was pointing, towards the monitoring station.
She nodded: "Yes!"
"Find your dad."
“...I know my dad’s room number,” Huang Miao said hesitantly.
"Let's check places like prisons first, and if we don't find anything there, then we can look in the rooms." Lin Xia nodded.
Huang Miao was taken aback, his face turned grim, and he nodded emphatically.
After fiddling with some things on the control panel, his expression improved: "Then I'll go find my dad?"
Seeing Lin Xia nod, Huang Miao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran out.
You don't think that will solve everything, do you?
Hearing the voices surrounding her, Lin Xia glanced at the time. It was the ninth day of the game, and they were currently in space. Lin Xia relaxed and sat down, completely ignoring them.
With just one command from me, the spaceship can crash.
Do you want to watch the entire ship's inhabitants perish with you?
......
Seeing that Lin Xia was closing her eyes to rest and completely ignoring him, the person tied up next to her frowned.
"Can't you hear the mastermind's threat? Do you want us all to die together? You're incredibly selfish!"
"Yes, if we all die, you will be the culprit behind the destruction of civilization!"
"You vicious woman, what right do you have to gain power? You don't deserve it!" Jiang Ying coughed incessantly, agitated.
"Lin Xia, are you to keep the training method to yourself? Shouldn't it be a treasure for all mankind? If you don't like us, you can choose someone you like to teach you. Is that not allowed?" Wang Jiarong said earnestly.
The others rolled their eyes and joined in the persuasion.
At this moment, Huang Miao returned, followed by a group of people, including soldiers with live ammunition. As soon as they entered, they surrounded the driver's cab.
But Lin Xia was sitting right in front of the control panel, and none of them dared to come over.
“I’ve heard what happened. Thank you for your help; you saved everyone,” Minister Huang said, stepping forward.
Lin Xia glanced at the people behind him, and Huang Miao immediately said, "These people don't support 'immortality of the spirit'."
Lin Xia didn't say anything, but watched as a soldier went over and untied the people who were tied up, and then almost half of the guns were pointed at Minister Huang and his men.
Huang Miao's expression changed drastically as he recalled the scene in the cafeteria: "Didn't you all say you'd never been online?!"
Those people looked at them expressionlessly. One of Wang Jiarong's group stepped forward, straightened his clothes, and said, "Minister Huang, I don't think we are enemies."
After recounting the information the mainframe had just shared, Minister Huang pondered silently for a long while before saying, "Minister Li, I think this matter entirely depends on Ms. Lin's decision. She's not like you people who only care about your own interests. On the contrary, do you really think you can achieve 'eternal life' if the spaceship hasn't taken off?"
Minister Li smiled insincerely: "You think I don't know what you're thinking? She's completely impervious to reason."
......
Listening to the two groups talking back and forth, Lin Xia sighed inwardly. Why couldn't they unite even at this point?
Having experienced so many apocalypses, whether natural disasters, man-made calamities, or unexpected calamities, Lin Xia felt heartbroken and had a sense of unease.
But in this apocalypse... the environmental damage caused by human actions is irreversible, and the spaceship will not accept anyone who comes looking for it if it is not fully occupied.
Then they abandoned their home planet, and finally, they even believed that spiritual power could grant immortality. The so-called 'Eternal Paradise' was nothing but an illusion. Immortality came from plunder, but without people, who would they plunder?
In this small space, she had no doubt about the evil in human nature. She didn't understand what the meteorite brought, how to convert human spiritual power into a main brain, or how to destroy that thing.
She glanced at the people arguing heatedly. She absolutely could not leave her body outside to test whether she could deal with that spiritual entity. They were not trustworthy, and besides, she really didn't know who would deal with whom if the consciousness entered the network.
The mastermind had previously stated that it could access its own memories.
“Ms. Lin, as you know, our entire spaceship is under the control of the mainframe. If we don’t satisfy it, we will all be in danger.” Minister Huang said with a troubled expression.
"Yes, we can't get around it no matter what. Or, Ms. Lin, could you solve it?"
"Are you the only leaders?"
Minister Huang snorted coldly: "I was ruined by this heartless bastard... Humph! If my wife weren't a researcher, I wouldn't have escaped either."
Lin Xia felt a chill in his heart. Could humanity really be led by these people?
"Comrade Lin, only through unity and cooperation can we live longer and better." Someone earnestly advised.
"Oh? How do we unite?" Lin Xia's expressionless face made the person opposite her hesitate for a long time.
"Actually, it's easy to solve. Professor Wang entered the mainframe to find a way for humanity to survive. His body is still well preserved by us. As long as he knows that we have a way to protect ourselves, he will definitely find a way to get out."
"Or... if you have the ability, could you help us deal with him..."
In the end, it all boils down to either dealing with the mainframe or dealing with her. Lin Xia pointed to the warehouse: "Arrange accommodations for them."
Minister Huang was taken aback: "Of course."
Minister Li's expression turned unnatural for a moment, then he nodded. Several people immediately went out. On the surveillance footage, they saw that the people who thought they were going to fight to the death were instead being taken to a dormitory. When they actually saw the spacious and bright, empty dormitory, they all glared angrily at the people holding weapons, and then burst into tears.
Lin Xia glanced at the expressions of the people present without any expression. More than half of them did not show any shame. Instead, she showed displeasure when she saw their resentful expressions.
It's hopeless, let it be destroyed.
Lin Xia stopped talking. Anyway, she was leaving soon, and what would happen to these people in the future was none of her business. As long as she didn't enter the network, the mastermind couldn't do anything to her.
Isn't this game a bit too easy? But this game was truly the most boring and tedious one she had ever experienced.
To avoid trouble, Lin Xia didn't allow them to leave. She pretended not to hear their earnest advice or pleas.
They thought there was plenty of time and they could eventually persuade Lin Xia. If that didn't work, they could arrange for the mainframe to threaten her or for them to show weakness and beg. At the very least, they believed there was someone among the remaining humans who could move her.
Seeing the scheming in their eyes, Lin Xia closed her eyes, refusing to listen or look anymore.
Congratulations on completing this game.
